BUTTER FACTORIES.
Una ef What Conditions Creameries WIZ
Most Likely Provo Profitable.

Most Likely Provo R100t10les
The establishment Of creameries or
butter factories has done much to
tighten labor in farm-houses. to inn
prove the quality Of butter, to insure q
good price for it, and to enable the
producers Of milk to obtain cash for il
ut regular times. That many creamer-
les have failed does not go to show that
the system of manufacturing is faulty.
Some have failed because too much
money was expended in the erection OF
buildings and the purchase of appara-
tus- Others did not meet with success
for the reason that the buildings were
not located where it was convenient
for farmers to deliver milk or cream.
and there were no arrangements made
for collecting them. Still others failed
on account Of lack of skill of the super
intendent or operator. or want OF
proper business management Cream
cries have Teen started in several
places before the farmers in the vicini-
t. were ready for them. They had in
ferior cows that had been accustomed
to suckle calves. and had never been
properly trained by q competent
mixer. The farmers themselves were
lacking in experience in the feeding
and general care Of dairy cows, and
were generally Indifferent or very poor
mixers Men who are not accustomed
to it do not take kindly to milking
cows
A creamery s'ould not be started in
farming neighborhood till the farmers
are ready for it Generally it will take
them at least two years to make prepara-
tons to supply it with material. They
will require some time to raise or coll
lect herd Of good mixers and to learn
how to take proper care of them. They
will need instructions in the operations
Of cooling. straining and handling Of
milk. They will want time for collect
ing money to build and supply build

building need not be a very expensive
one, though if farmers follow the ad-

Turning about she started down the

The song and voice were both famil-
lar to Helen. The song was Pete the
peddler 'sown composition, whether il
was original or merely parody fixed
up to fit Pete, no one knew, but il
suited his business. and he sang it.
She knew it was Pete before he came
in sight around the lane with his large
pack on his back. and an oil cloth
spread over it to keep it dry. He
paused moment when he saw Helen
and her little brother and gazed al
them in wonder.
"Well. say. now. what in the name o
common sense are We doin' out here in
the rain?" he stammered, removing his
pipe from his mouth.
1--WE are going somewhere" Helen
answered.
"Ye are, well where are YOU goin' p

CHAPTER VIII.

Helen Lakeman watched with some
anxiety those great black clouds rapidly
spreading over the horizon. Little
Amos hurried along as fast as he could /;
the terror Of being out in a thunder
storm made him tax his strength to the
utmost. Struggling and painting up
the hill. he looked his sister in the face
with an anxious look, and said:
..Sister. do You reckon twill catch
us?"
Il hope not. brother. Let me carry
you on my back, will YOU not?"
NO. no. nor said the cripple: ..you

clothes in it-that's enough for You
without carrying me-"
But YOU can carry the carpet-bag

ton. The sun. which had shown
through rift in the cloud. was soon
-obscured, and a heavy peal of thunder

Helen. bearing the boy. his crutcheS

gauntlet of fire-darting lightning to. the
tree. where they were only partially
sheltered from the rain and in constant
peril from the lightning. A tree not a
dozen rods away was shivered from its
branches to its roots. and both Helen
and the child SO shocked they fell to
the ground.
"Oh! sister. we will be killed, We
will be killed." cried Amos.
Then we will 60 to Heaven. brother

the midst of the storm, ''you want to

several days. Barring the personal sym
